Look Alive by TweaK! Lyrics
(Intro - TweaK!)
I need a mentor..
[I need a mentor to bring these rhymes to life!]
(Hook)
Stop the press, everything's a mess
You can look alive, but you are not at rest
& ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday
Are you working just to bleed?
I know (x3) I knowww...
(Verse One - $age)
Everyone's like, "$age! you should get signed!"
They're addicted to my bars like they're hooked to crime
Little do they know about my mom's disease (RSD)
& how I pray to God every night, on my knees! Honestly
I'm not a prodigy, I'm a man with a philosophy:
"God's gotta be in me or else I wouldn't shine!"
I'm tryna guide crooked minds, stop the beat!
((There's no mountain that I couldn't climb!))
I march to the beat of my own drums
With unique foot prints & my footing's fine
As she put dick in her mouth I put my foot in mine
I'll be remembered as one who took his life
I knew if I'd commit suicide, I'd be good in time
I hope you understood this rhyme
I wrote this without a hook in mind
I'm lyin in a casket & I look alive
(Hook)
Stop the press, everything's a mess
You can look alive, but you are not at rest
& ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday
Are you working just to bleed?
I know (x3) I knowww...
(Verse 2 - TweaK!)
We gotta look alive, if we wanna survive
They're just tryna find the light, you see the look in their eyes?
They thrive on, in this hell that we call life, we gotta drive on
Even if it means bein' strapped by our nines, uh
& what you mean you're not a prodigy? You oughtta be, I learned
Everything I know in rap from you, now are you fond of me?!
I'm on to be, what I've always desired, til I expire
I'd piss my fuckin' life away to get a little higher
Til you came to me in a dream, now we're a team, & I'm impressed
You say everything you've seen is just too mean? Well it's a test
& I know you're life's regressed ever since that awful day
Cause I swear it shook me too & I'll stay next to you, $age
Til the day your in a casket & I'm askin' God why
Why did he have to take my mentor, he's not dead, it's a fuckin' lie!
Now I'm up at the podium & I'm sayin' my goodbye's
I turn to your casket & swear to God you look alive, so
(Hook)
Stop the press, everything's a mess
You can look alive, but you are not at rest
& ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday
Are you working just to bleed?
I know (x3) I knowww...
I need a mentor..
